I'm back on the hunt after having missed the last two weeks for Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
This week's Photo Hunt theme is 'free week' . . . which means there is no theme. Frankly this is more challenging than where there is a really tricky theme. I'm like a kid in a room full of hundreds of pieces of chocolate - each looks good, I want each of them, which to chose, which to chose . . .
ARGH
Anyway. Even though I'm just off of a two week vacation I don't find myself feeling particularly relaxed - Christmas break is such a blur of cooking, entertaining, visiting . . . there is little real relaxation time for ME! Plus it is cold and we're getting snow. BAH
So I'm thinking vacation!
This is a pic I took on my vacation to Bologna, Italy with my pal Palma last June:
The church of Santo Stefano reflected in my glass of wine. I loved this piazza in front of the church - it was full of life - real life. It was a treat to sit in one of the wine bars along the edge of the piazza sipping wine and watching the world go by . .
That is a great image - I love reflections and refractions.

Nice photo, good way to spend some time!
We are getting snow and ice. Not a good thing in Atlanta.

If all goes well we'll be heading back in the fall Girasoli - Naples, southern Tuscany, and Piemonte - almost tip to toe!
